Cambodia-towns



Eating noodles from a street vendor in Siem Reap, surviving a ride on the bamboo train in Battenbang and sharing the beaches with food sellers in Sihanoukville...lots of local flavors and experiences to be had around Cambodia.

Street stalls have been our restaurant of choice these past two weeks, cheap, tasty and always cooked fresh in front of you whilst you wait on the pavement, you'll be eating within a couple of minutes. The bamboo train was quite an experience, originally built by the French  70 years ago to transport people and food between Battenbang and the capital Phnom Penh, the single track rail is now overgrown and used only between local villages. Scarier then the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, we endured a bumpy and noisy 14km journey having to disassemble our train (norry) when we met another oncoming train. Kicked back on the beach on the south coast for a few days before crossing the border into Vietnam.
